Information has it that, HekCentrik Productions has pulled some of the biggest African movie personalities such as Jackie Appiah, Igoni Archibong, Patience Ozokwor, Enyinna Nwigwe, Ebbe Bassey and Chelsea Eze to star alongside Hollywood actors Lauren London (“ATL”, “I Love You, Beth Cooper”, “Good Hair”), Ernie Hudson (“Ghostbusters”, “Law and Order”, “Desperate Housewives”), Todd Bridges (“Diff’rent Strokes”, “Everybody Hates Chris”), Cynda Williams (“Mo’ Better Blues”, “Introducing Dorothy Dandridge”) and Joe Estevez (“Apocalypse Now”, “Spanish Fly”) in a movie ‘Turning Point’
It seems like each day, African movie stars such as Jackie Appiah and others are slowly gravitating towards their Hollywood dreams.
Turning Point is written and will be directed and produced by Niyi Towolawi and co-produced by Egor Efiok .
The movie is set in New York and it will explore ethnic prejudice amongst the various black communities in America (a la “Crash”).
It will centre around a Nigerian investment banker who bows to family pressure to abandon his American lover for an arranged wife from back home. His life gets messy and things turn upside-down when the marriage turns out not too rosy, setting off a chain of events that compels him to confront his reckless past.
Probably, Jackie Appiah can now say, Hollywood here I am with my African glory. Are we there yet or is she there yet?
